ADVICE

Filter Feedback With A Catcher's Mitt

  • Use a 'catcher's mitt' to receive feedback: accept true points, discard false ones, and test maybes.
  • If a rejected critique keeps recurring, reevaluate and consider integrating it.
ADVICE

Stage Reader Testing Early And Late

  • Use two testing phases: small test readers early, then many front-to-back readers later.
  • Prioritize feedback from a few trusted people but also ensure it works for non-expert readers.
ADVICE

Remove Distractions With Scheduled Blackouts

  • Block internet access during writing with tools like Freedom to eliminate distractions.
  • Use strict time windows for online access to force more efficient email and research sessions.
